I go over 2 on Queens Drive and a mate on Facebook happened to comment saying cyclist weren't allowed, I'm sure they are though, there's no signs saying they can't go on them, can't find any info online about it though. Any ideas peeps?

You can ride on any public road unless the Highway Code says you can't or there signs specifying a prohibition.

I've seen other cyclists go over them, as said there's no signed saying we can't.

Yeah, but give way to 18 wheelers pulling trailers.

The police would advise against it as there is more wind buffeting on them and they don't like to pick up the pieces when you have been blown into the path of a wagon. If in doubt the best advice is don't.

Do you mean flyers - ie. ads printed on paper or flyovers? Confused Z

I used to go over the flyover at Bow roundabout near the Olympic site as it was far safer than negotiating the junction below it. Quite often there were police doing a speedtrap near it and they never said anything.

I go by Queens Drive a lot myself but never with a bike. I don't think you're meant to use flyovers on a bicycle, but in the case of that grotty junkie den underpass on Queens Drive, I think the police would understand. I was mugged there... as a child!

I used to cycle over it every day. There's no law against it. It's just a main road and a lot safer than negoiating the lights underneath

I did use to go under the flyover a few years back but that was way too dangerous I thought

Only road were banned from is the motorway mate I was supprised to find out you can cycle on the coventry ring road but you would need sectioning if you wanted to do it

Well after a conversation from our fight club last night, he pointed out to me that the Walton flyover does have a sign stating cyclist can't use the flyover, and feck me, after having a good look round on my way to work this morning, there it was, up in the bloody gods! No wonder I never spotted it before, oddly enough there isn't a sign on the opposite side or one at the rocket flyover which is far more busier

Gotta admit I've never heard of this before. Is it maybe just this specific flyover for some reason?
